The loops are mutually so spaced as to be positioned adjacent the upright frameimembers, respectively; and are of sufiicient size I to freely encompass the frame.=member, 9, and permit relative oscillation between the bail and lantern. When the lantern is resting'on its base, the bail'may remain upright, the loop sides,1*5and 18, resting on the sides oftheira-me'member, 9, and the upper rib, 10, engaging in the angles formed by said sides, as shownin Fig. 3,01: the bail" may be tilted, either forwardly or rearwardly, and held in an inclined-position against" graviupper and a lower side of each 'lo0p, as pre- When the lantern is: lifted by means of the loop of the hook,'the loops and frame assunie th'e;relativepositions indicated in dotted-lines in'Fig."3.

' .For this style two modifications of theloops are suggested, thatshofwn in Fig; '5, and

amplified in Fig.- 16, beingiormed by bendfingthefreend portions of't'he arms a distance laterally to the arms as at 122, then downwardly, as at 23, at. a slight angle from end portions of the arms are thenbent up- 'wardly and outwardly ata slight angle to and in the direction of the verticaliplane of theai'msQas at 25, and then bent laterally to ward the portion 22, and the extreme end portions are then bent around the arms, as

at 27 Thus, the portions, 22 and 26, form hdiizon'talupper sides of the loops, the

ortions '23, and 25'the upright sides of the oops, and the portions 2a, the bottoms of the loops. Obviously, the loops are placed around the frame member the loops at 27.

When'the lantern is supported"by the prior to closing I hookfll, the frame member 21, rests on the;

center portions of 'thebottom members fof the l'oops,,asshown, in Fig. 6; and when the lanternrests on its base-the uppenportions, l 22T 26, of;th'e loops may rest on-the momber, 21. ;When the. lantern is supported. by the end 12],,of the hook, the loops assume the position indicatedin dotted lines in Fig.

2; A bail for a lantern having a horizontal {hand the saidloops will also be thus disposedif the hook is tiltedwhenthe-lantern rests on its base.

. In-the modification shown 7, the

loops are similar to those shown'in Fig. 6, but, are inverted, with respect thereto, as

their greater breadth is at the top. They -are formed by bending the. end portions .of the arms, 14-, laterally and curving them downwardly,"as ati 28, then bending them downwardly toward the vertical plane of the arms, as at 29, then laterally-to intersect said plane,=as at'BO, then upwardly and from the saidplane,"asat 3 1, and bending them laterally and curving them-upwardly, as "-at 32, toward the arms, and, finally, after 7 the loops areplacedaround the frame memt'ation by engagement'of the ribs, 10, with an ber, 21, the extreme end-portions are bent around the arms, as at 33. i

-' Having thus described my invention, what -I claim as new and desire to secure'by LettersfPatent ofthe United State s,-is:

A bail for alanternh'aving'a horizontal 'j'fr'ame member with external projections, "comprising a carryingmember and loops thereon adapted' to 'encompassthe frame member and-soshapedand constructed as to permitrelative oscillation between the bail-and frame member, and engageable with said projections} to limit such oscillation and retain the; bail; in an upwardly-ex tende'dposition when thelantern rests on its "frame member with external" projections,
